[UK-CONTEST] September's 2010 IARU Region 1 144MHz contest results

[Rob Harrison]

Chris,

I've had a quick look at the results, even though I didn't do this one, was 
on holiday.

There's a lot of errors that seem to me to be attributable to the other 
station making errors in their logging. For instance, you received 52 and 
they say it's 59, there's a lot of "they say 59" in that list of 
participants, probably due to logging program defaulting and op's not 
correcting. Serial numbers out by one, you have 059, they say 060. That can 
only be down to the other end. You put 038 they say 028, I can understand, 
but not out by one. Other than that the usual errors, expecting someone to 
be where they usaully are, stroke P or not stroke P, that is the question.

BTW I worked a UK station on Saturday in the UKSMG contest, he was calling 
fixed and his locator was his normal home one, just after I'd worked him, he 
started calling G****/P for a few overs, I was about to recall and ask him 
for clarification, when he went back to his home call. No legislating for 
that type of incident.

I've looked on the cluster search for G4MEM in all forms of call, but he's 
not there. So seems the program doesn't like /M. Seems technology isn't the 
be all and end all of logging, hi. Perhaps he should contact the Czech 
adjudicators to confirm his call on that day and ask for an explaination.
